Technical issue. A somewhat goofy request for information.

I will have to be in an oxygen-rich atmosphere for treatment of a problem. It will be many two-hour sessions. When I talked to the nurse about this, she said no electronic devices are permitted. This of course is a precaution as any electrical spark could cause a fire or explosion.

I am supposing that my Fire, 1st generation, would not have anything going on that would be dangerous, but unless I can find some substantial proof, I am going to have to endure this without being able to use it to read. I would not have wi-fi turned on, if that makes any difference.

Does anybody know for sure whether it would be safe? If so, how can I prove it to the hospital staff?
